they are slowly killing off this game. I haven't botted in over 2 years (back when that patch came out that patch d2nt) and bought new copies of D2 and just happen to be at work and connected to D2 using our company's VPN and bam 14 day ban. Was playing today using a new modem (switched ISP providers) and new copy of D2 I bought off the website and joined a game to do Andy then bam got disconnected and "version checK" ban. They are slowly killing this game.

Game has been dead for a decade and you only noticed because you can't play at work?

I don't understand why companies seem to think people use the internet from only one device in one location...

Blocking VPN access didn't stop bots (which is the only assumed reason for doing so), they probably knew it wouldn't.

Pretty sure I said a few years ago it seems like they are intentionally thinning out the bnet playerbase. Their actions over the last 2 years have done nothing but drive off players and dwindle the fun of playing.

Even if they managed to have clean and heavily populated servers the connection restrictions would drive mass numbers away.

I would guess, battle.net could just look at youre computers MAC address or something uniquely identifying your network or computer and ban that cd key.

only way around that, is to spoof your mac, or something like that, or use a different cpu to play d2 on. its going to be hard without a vpn but you could try
tethering youre cell phone for internet access as d2 uses little data.

I use a VPN all the time and don't have any issue. Whenever I get a temp ban on one of address I just referesh / swap vpn on off and can log on immediatelty. Exception to this is that in the past year sometimes my cdkey hangs for up to an hour or two. This is unrelated to an IP ban and is usually causes by my cdkey being stuck online. Supposedly this is a newer issue (i.e. the long length stuck online) but again it seems different than something based on ip. I doubt I need to spoof your Mac address in any case
